My coffee was more than a coffee this morning. It was a nice reminder good things are there to be found if you reframe your focus .
It's easy to be cynical about churches and religion in general in this day and age – historically for many good reasons. But we forget that they're not just giant beautiful buildings and places to go. They are communities and full of people who want to help and do better in the world and live by example.
I tinker-net searched closest coffee shop to my accomodation and it turned out to be one attached to a church. Not only was it a coffee shop it was a general gathering place and safe place . It did look like any other cafe but it also had a very large heater and showers so that homeless / rough sleepers could get warm shower , change , launder what ever they need with a pay it forward coffee and warm food
Meanwhile a steady stream of tradies, business folk, emergency services , early krona exercises , dog walkers you name it came and joined the Frey.
It was a lovely friendly community where all walks of life felt comfortable in their own skin .
It was a timely reminder of good in the world ( and the coffee was good because I would not post for s**t coffee!!!! Hahaha )
I'm not tagging them because it's a community cafe not an insta promotion . I just loved being a fly in the wall and watching all these interactions from all walks of life.
Not a promo for religion !definitely advocating for more kindness.
